Customers sometimes request a refund on past purchases. You can provide refunds for POS purchases right at your point of sale.
Issuing refunds for products or services
You can provide a refund for products or services that were purchased. When a customer buys more than one item, you can issue a refund for the entire order or for specific items in the order.
Note:
If your customer left a tip through the tablet during checkout, you can refund the sale only by refunding a specific amount (see next section).
To issue a refund on specific products:
- Open the POS tablet.
- Tap Sales History on the bottom bar.
- Tap the store order you want to refund.
- Tap Actions at the top right.
- Tap Issue Refund.
- Tap the Plus icon
next to the product(s) you want to refund.
Tip: Tap more than once to refund more than one of the same item.
- Tap Next.
- Tap the Restock toggle (for items tracking inventory):
- Enabled: Inventory level for this item increases after making the refund.
- Disabled: Inventory level remains the same.
- (Optional) Select a reason for refund.
- Tap Refund.
Note: This cannot be undone. - (Interac payments only) Ask the customer to tap or insert the card.
- Select a receipt option to complete the refund.
Issuing refunds of a specific amount
Rather than offering a refund for one or more items in the order, you may want to refund a specific amount of money, such as 50% of your customer's order total.
To refund a specific amount of money:
- Open the POS tablet.
- Tap Sales History on the bottom bar.
- Tap the order you want to refund.
- Tap Actions at the top right.
- Tap Issue Refund.
- Tap Enter Amount.
- Enter the amount you want to refund, including cents. (e.g. $50.00).
- Tap Next.
- (Optional) Select a reason for the refund.
- Tap Refund to complete the refund.
Note: This cannot be undone. - (Interac payments only) Ask the customer to tap or insert the card.
- Select a receipt option.
After you issue the refund, the order displays the refund details.
Refunding orders with split payments
When an order is paid for with 2 or more payment methods (e.g. 2 cards), you cannot process a refund in the POS tablet. This includes orders paid for with any combination of cash, cards, and gift cards.
You can, however, refund card payments from All Payments in your site's dashboard.
When there is a split payment, each payment appears as a separate line in the All Payments tab. In the image below, the customer paid $75 by credit card and $52 cash - all for the same order.
Note:
Cash payments must be refunded in person
